<p>I love this! Causes teen pregnancy to rise? That's funny! I might use that later... But in all seriousness I think that many politicians DO have weird options like that with no basis in logic or knowledge. "The female body has ways of protecting itself against pregnancy in cases of rape." Remember that? So although I see what you said as satire it reminds me that we have real dummies in power.</p>

<p>Again you're making assumptions about me, but let's leave that aside. Americans don't have to speak German. Yes, so? What's your point? That doesn't mean anything. You "have to speak" English because the English settled in America. Had the Russians settled first you'd have to speak Russian now, but it wouldn't bother you, would it? No, because you'd be Russian. If some Chinese had settled, you'd speak Chinese. If people from Sweden did, you'd be speaking Swedish. Had the Germans won you'd speak German, and? You'd most likely BE German, or be raised under their indoctrination, so it wouldn't bother you, just as your current indoctrination doesn't bother you speaking English.</p>
<p>There is nothing that makes your particular culture and your language superior to those of others, and claiming so makes you look like an arrogant racist.</p>
<p>You 're just one of those biased army-kids, who were never introduced to another ideology than whichever one their own household subscribed to and think their particular nation is best and coolest out there (which isn't?).</p>

<p>This "you would be talking german/japanese/russian/etc if not for bla bla bla" is again, nothing more than a platitude.</p>

<p>I generally have nothing against personal attacks, given as long as they come with actual content too, and not just on their own. You did sadly just that. Without being able to defend your points or debunk mine, you show there's nothing left to discuss then. I already told you I don't think of your father's sacrifice as null, but you're not content with that, what you clearly want, no demand, is worship. A generic army-boy who lacks objectivity, and thinks his daddy was the greatest hero in history.</p>

The "sake of the many" is, more often than not, a pretense.</p>
